At least I got to updating my Sims journals again. Both

eurekasims have two updates apiece, one to announce the installation of the Seasons expansion pack, the next to get the family rotations going again.
-RPD: You seemed to be having fun while you were playing. The crap from yesterday worth it?-
Yeah, I suppose so. My graphics are nice and clear, my Sims can play in the snow, it's generally a good scene. And fall looks like fun -- skill skill skill!
-HD: *curious* How ARE you arranging the weather patterns? Logically or illogically? I'd go with the latter, FAR more entertaining.-
LOL. Well, it's FAIRLY logical:
Eureka: Eureka, Mad Hill Valley, and Narbonics will all be Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer. Trans Poly U, however, is on a Fall/Spring/Fall/Spring schedule, to match up with how the semesters WOULD go.
Strangetown: Strangetown and La Fiesta tech are Summer/Fall/Spring/Summer, being desert. Downtown and Bluewater Village will be Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring.
Twin Oaks Park: Everything here will be Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall.
Hill Valley: Everything here will be Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring.
-M: So you're basically doing all four seasons for each neighborhood?-
In one way or another, yes. I'm looking forward to doing Eureka, though -- a Fall/Spring combo seems perfect for college. Fall helps with skills and badges, Spring with romance, so Emma and Emmett will have plenty of time to pump themselves up.
-VD: No gardening yet?-
I'm still reading my Prima Guide about that. But I intend for Emma and Emmett to at least do some stuff with Orchard trees.
-VD2: Allow us to reiterate that you're not having our Simself drink eggplant juice!-
*holds up finger* I anticipated your complaint. *grabs Prima Guide* Ahem:
"Juice: Eggplant Juice. Ingredients: 1 Eggplant. Hunger Satisfaction: 3-9 points. Special Effect: RANDOM SKILL POINTS."
-VD2: . . . Did we say NOT drink?-
*snrrrk* Other juices you may be interested in are the Vegetable Cocktail -- 2 Tomatoes, 1 Cucumber, 1 Pepper, and 3 Pole Beans -- which helps build skills faster, and Orangeade -- 3 Oranges, 1 Lemon -- which provides Ranom Badge points.
-TD: *sings* Green Acres is the place to be/Farm livin' is the life for me!-
LOL -- well, unfortunately, it'll be a while before you can get any of those -- you can only plant Tomatoes at low badge level, and Orangeade only works with one badge in a talent.
-TD: We'll wait, for a payoff like that!-
:D I figured you would.
Okay, I really should try and get my brain back into writing mode. Let's edit "Marty In Wonderland" so I can get chapter 4 up sometime soon.
-DW: And hopefully the
